The official YouTube channel of the group BLITZERS has fallen victim to a hacking incident. On August 8 KST, Uzo Entertainment confirmed that the channel had been compromised. The hackers changed the channel name to Tesla and deleted all existing videos. In their place, videos featuring Elon Musk were uploaded, causing confusion and concern among fans.

As a result of this hacking incident, BLITZERS' official YouTube channel is currently inactive. Google's community guidelines were violated during the attack, leading to the channel being taken down. Uzo Entertainment has confirmed the breach, stating that the hackers uploaded content unrelated to the artist and jeopardized the channel's integrity.

Despite this setback, BLITZERS will continue with their plans for a Japanese concert.

Meanwhile, Uzo Entertainment is working closely with YouTube's support team to investigate the incident and take appropriate actions.

not the first time that an artist channel got hacked and bombarded with tesla sht. either label employees use weak passwords or youtube has a serious security flaw somewhere.

I saw it was gone from my subscriptions and was so confused (I don't have twitter), hopefully they get it soon. Thankfully, a lot of stuff is on WeVerse.
